The second quarter was just as thrilling as the first, albeit low scoring, seeing the Spartans outscore the Eagles 9-6 and take a 20-17 lead into the intermission.

A similar third saw the No. 1 team in the state take a 32-30 lead into the fourth and despite the Eagles battling up until the final whistle and sophomore Cameron McCreary doing everything he could, the Spartans held on for the win.

Jakubick led all scorers with 25 points while McCreary led the Eagles with 22, all in the second half.

St. Peter’s moves on to the regional semifinal while the Eagles see their season come to a close.
